Viaduk Jalan Pahlawan

One of the viaducts is above Jalan Pahlawan Surabaya. This Viaduk is located in the Krembangan Selatan Village, Krembangan District, Surabaya City. Located on the east and northwest side of Tugu Pahlawan, or northwest of the East Java Governor's Office.nThis viaduct is still in use today. A viaduct is a railroad construction on a highway that is used to avoid level crossings between railroads and roads. It is said that the construction of this viaduct is related to the construction of the railroad network in Surabaya.nnThe Dutch East Indies government first built a 19 kilometer long tram network in 1923 and was completed in 1924. One of them, which crosses Jalan Pahlawan, was formerly known as Aloon-Aloon Straat. Every time a train passes, the atmosphere in Aloon-Aloon Straat gets stuck. And endanger the trams whose lines cut through the railroad there.nPerhaps this was the reason that urged the construction of the Jalan Pahlawan viaduct. It is estimated that the construction of this viaduct was between 1926 and 1930. And after the inauguration of the viaduct, it was known as the Het viaduct op de Pasar Besar in Soerabaja.nThis Viaduct was not only remembered as a railroad crossing, but was also a defensive line for fighters from the onslaught of British troops. Arek Suroboyo rejected the ultimatum of the Allied forces led by British troops assisted by NICA, and chose to fight.nDuring the fighting, staying in the viaduct, reinforcements arrived, including from Surakarta, Bali and Madura. It is said that the term `` front viaduct '' appeared, namely those who fought and resisted the invaders' attack in the viaduct of Jalan Pahlawan. In this cultural heritage building, the historical record of Arek-arek Suroboyo's struggle and enthusiasm has been scratched.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ........................................
